Aviation Photo #1035466 Boeing 747-212B(SF) - Untitled

What a sad sight...

Really, really sad to see such a beautiful aircraft arriving at the end of its life:(

So here's the new pilotless and solar powered model of Boeing 747.

Since when did the 747 come with an optional sunroof?

You know, I could be wrong here, but it looks like it's missing a couple pieces...

Flight TH803002 from Dusseldorf to Los angeles,economy flight(only)....hehe sorry..it´s sad!

Would kinda make brakeriding kinda hard with no flight deck :)

Rest in Peace ( cry )

Is this the end, or is it being converted to a freighter or something?

Poor thing! Give her some respect guys!

After a over one year storage the crashed 747 will be scrapped soon ...
It's a very sad sight - anyone who can tell me where I can get a piece of wing for my desktop?

Any chance this is just part of a (very) heavy maintenance check? Or is she done? If so, very sad.

Looks airworthy to me.... haha

Heh, So this is were the new lowcost airline are gettin their planes?? :D

Too bad its only fun to fly in on sunny days. hate to see a beautiful heavy go down the toliet

Looks as though they just sawed off the section of fuselage that the registration number was painted on...!

So sad to see this baby in this shape. Perhaps it will be for airport firemen trainin´ on a 747. If it gets repaired, what a luck. T.B.

Maybe they were testing an ejectable cockpit? :P

My god! I saw her in summer last year, already in a very dirty condition but it's quite shocking what they've done to her now!
she slipped off the runway last winter. you can see the pics here.

Tremendous!

Looks like it has an crew ejection capsule, like the F-111.;-)

That's a sad site indeed!

This was one of our A/C. I work for Atlas Air Inc. this was a cargo 747-200 classic tail # N808MC. It is sad to see it now, but it was at the end of it's economic life and its scrapping lengthened the lives of a few more of our classic fleet (which we are replacing with 747-400's and 747-8's). As we move on and replace the few classics we have left, this was a necessary measure. It served well, but it was its time to go. Actually I know a few crew members who have the cargo door, nose cone, ect. and I've been inside this A/C during one of its final checks. You might see a few more of our classics looking like this soon.

Very Very sad.

Interesting technique for removing flight control equipment...just cut out the whole cockpit.

So who's riding the brakes?! ;-)

Come on guys, how else are tug 'learner' drivers supposed to gain experience? ;-)

How sad...

It's okay people. She signed her organ donar card in her passing moments...

Very sad to see a once proud jetliner in this disrepair condition.

Its kind of sad though, to become bits and pieces after such great service.

"Hey, Carl, it's a nice day. Let's fly with the top down."
